Great App, good for journaling

This is a great app for your dream journal and general lucid dream practice, thought it could use some work. I’m using the free version, so I may need to buy to unlock some of the cooler features, but one complaint I have is towards the dream journal itself. The dream journal has a tag feature, where I can tag the dream as anything. This feature is nifty, but a little pointless without a search feature. I’ve been using this app for years and would love if I could simply search a tag and find all dreams that use that tag. Otherwise, this is great stuff! Very sleek night-friendly interface. It would also be cool to be able to use the app with my device horizontal, rather than exclusively vertical.

Pretty basic, minimal help files

The initial screen just has a timer with play & pause buttons that do nothing. My assumption was the timer was for the length of the dream cues but it turns out to be a countdown until you're asleep. The play & pause buttons only work after you've pressed Start below and after the countdown reaches 0. The UI looks nice but is not intuitive at all, basically counter intuitive.

Great app but I think I broke it

I tried out the reality checker and tried to edit the message it sends and clicked out of the typing pad. Now I can’t edit it. Help?

Abandonware, Methinks

At this point it seems pretty clear the app has been abandoned. It's a shame, it was one of the better ones out there. It doesn't seem to be fully compatible with iOS 13, either. Don't waste your money on the unlock, some of it simply doesn't work. The rest is actually pretty good, so too bad.

I have one problem

This app is excellent and is everything I wanted, almost. I like the lucid dream timer but it doesn’t do what I want it to do. I want it to turn off after 10-15 seconds so that it is enough to wake me up but the lowest option is 15 minutes. Please make it so you can make the time lower because I think a lot of people could benefit from it. Would definitely give it 5 stars if that feature is added but without I don’t see any use.

I want to cancel the trial!!

I dont have enough money for it!! Please cancel the trial!!

Help Please?

I love the layout of the app and the features. However I can’t get the main feature, which inspired me to buy the upgrade, to work... Every time I choose a custom audio track there’s the check mark next to the chosen track, I press “done”, and then the audio still reads/plays “default”. Can you please help?
Thanks!

Ok

I like the idea just not that almost everything is locked. I also have a hard time using this app because I roll in my sleep causing my headphones to fall off in the middle of the night defeating the purpose of listening to the music. Good app otherwise.

false advertising

The upgraded account doesn't support custom music

Please add a sleep stage tracker

This would be so much more useful if it had something that made use of the phone’s accelerometer to track when you are in REM.

Confused

I’m so confused there’s barley any noise coming from the app it’s just doing nothing

Doesn’t work

I tested this app a few times, and it never works. I tried audio cues only, visual cues only, and both on, and at the end of the times, nothing. Also, who in the world can sleep with their phone light on? I assume you can’t lock it after you set the timer, since it wasn’t in the instructions. Has alot of promise, but doesn’t deliver at all

I should’ve started with this

I’ve been trying to have a lucid dream for 6 years with no luck. I’ve had this app for two weeks and I just had my first completely lucid dream. I bought the full app and all the features help. The reality check reminders and the subliminator are my personal favorites. The actual lucid dreamer helps me have more dreams that I can remember and gives you opportunities to become lucid. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone trying to have a lucid dream. Finally being able to experience it has just made me so excited to go to sleep again!

Great app

This is overall a great app but needs some explanation. This is more a letter to the editor than any recommendation. Here’s my review: it’s a good app.
But, it doesn’t really explain what the timer is for (the main function of the app), how long you should be setting it for, how it works, why it works, or what it does.
I’m not really sure what the timer does, and if I don’t know what sound is going to play how do I know to look for it in my dreams?
There’s almost no explanation of the app’s purpose, there are only settings that you’re supposed to know how to do.

HEY!!!!!

What happened to the voice Recorder? You can have your other three stars when you tell me how to get it back!

Trying out the app

Looks good I’m gonna try it and see how it goes will update later

Meh

Could’ve done a better job. Say a tutorial, that would be nice. Plus, the app crashes every time I use the “sublimnimator”

Response from developer

Talk about cold... As for the crashes: I'm on it. Maybe you'll warm up to it after the next update.

Found a way around subliminator crash

Don't know if it was just a fluke or if it'll work for others but when I used my own images and added custom phrases the subliminator did not crash

Response from developer

Thanks for reaching out, and that's a great temp solution! I've already fixed this one for the next release (thanks to you and a few others for pointing it out)

I like the app, but.....

The Subliminator crashes after starting. iOS 11.3

Response from developer

I'm on it, and it's fixed for the next release! In the mean time, as one of the other users pointed out, you can temporarily solve it by adding your own custom image.

Love the new design (Touch ID journal?)

I was starting to get worried that this app was abandoned and was never going to be updated. I'm going to be honest, a few of the features I don't think would work... but most of them I love and they work well! In the changes it says that you can use Touch ID now for the dream journal? I can't seem to find that feature. (Can you please email me about that? Thanks) everything else is great! I would recommend this to beginners and advanced users. Beginners try it with the free trial first. Thank you for updating the app!

Response from developer

Thanks for the first review of the new version, we're really excited to hear you like it! To answer your question: The Touch/FaceID should be activated any time you enter the Journal from the side menu, but will only appear if it's enabled on your device. If you have any other questions or if there's anything else you need help with, just ping matt@guardanis.com
